Shifter Orientation

Posted February 14, 20232 yr

comment_650278

Can anyone tell me the proper orientation of the shifter for a manual transmission. I'm working on a 73Z, converting to a manual from an automatic. The manual trans is from a 72Z. Since I never saw the shift lever installed I need to be sure I'm installing it properly. All the fisch and fsm pics show a straight lever. Attached is a photo of how I think it should be installed. Can anyone verify ? Thanks

Here is a picture from the engine mechanical section of the 1972 FSM.

You had a 50-50 chance! It's the other way. Check out pictures on BAT to be sure. CanTechZ just posted but I'm sending anyway!
